Robin W I thought about it for my gym space but read that the rubber smell lingers for a significant amount of time after installation.

Ironwood Builders Look into Roppe rubber flooring. Incredibly durable and goes down like big vinyl tiles with mastic. We used the raised dot design in a contemporary kitchen. Follow this link... http://www.roppe.com/products/raiseddesign/index.html

Cancork Floor Inc. Rubber smell is going to be the biggest draw back. For asthmatics, this can be a big, big problem. An incredibly durable floor - without the problems with smell - is a cork-rubber flooring. Sadly, my company does not produce them, but they will give you MOST of the benefits of rubber without it's draw backs. The issue with rubber and cork-rubber flooring? $$$$$$$$$ Big money for these floors because they are usually considered commercial/industrial grade flooring and have a large cost to them. Depending on the make, they may have special installation instructions and "nasty" adhesives that go with it...again, these are mostly used for commercial/industrial spaces - same as rubber.

Do a web search for "cork-rubber" flooring and you will find a small, but interesting variety out there.
